Be it known that We, GEORGE LEWIS, residing at Park Street, Wellington,and CHARLES EDWARD POINTON, residingat W rekin Road, Wellington', in thecounty of salop', New Zealand, citizens of Great Britain, have inventedcertain newand useful Improvement-.sin Maf chines for Molding Dugh, (forwhich we have obtained a patentm Great-Britain, No. 19,950,

1o bearingdate October10,1894,and in Germany, No. 84,427, dated April S,1895,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in machines for molding doughinto balls or othershapesfor rolls, and like articles.

In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings, to be hereinafterreferred to, Fig;-

ure 1 is a side elevation with part section 2o representing one form ofou'r improved maliig. 2 is an end elevation of the niaehine with themouthpiece removed. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the mouthpiece. Fig. 4is a plan'showing the drivinggeai'. Fig. 5 is a part section through therotating disks or moldii1g-wheels Fig. Gis a similar view'representing;a modified form of 1uoldingwheel. Fig. i is a part sectionshowing a molding-wheel suitable for long loaves or 50 rolls and having;an adjustable ring.

The same reference-letters in the diiierent views indicate the saineparts.

.In carryin" our invention into eileet Iwe construct a iixed cylinder ordrum A, having a central rotating shaft l?, driven by Worin.- whcel Cand worin l) or by bevel-wheels or other suitable gear. The shaft-'issupported by the stai'idards li E', bolted er secured to the buse oftllemaehiue. Ou this shalt 'i3 we 40 secure the for1ning-disl andloosely mount Iupon the sume :mother disk er wheel G. Upon the extendedboss'G of the wheel i we key er secure the wormwheel Il, which 'isdriven by the worin J. The norm J is mounted upon the shaft K,

which receives its motion from the drivingshaft L, eer ying the worm l).The drivingshaft L isprovided-with fast and loose beltpulleys M M' fortransmitting power from a line oishaft'ing or direct from an engine,al-` the purpose ofiormi n gr loaves,

though we somctii'nesrevoice the shaftby means of abend-Wheel orcrank-lever. 'lho motion of the driving-shaft L is transmitted to theshaft K preferably ,by chain-wheels 'and chain M2. Nc form theperipheries of 55 the disks 0r molding-wheels to the configuration shownat Fig. 5. An annular space or chamber is thus formed between theinterior circumference of the cylinder A andv the scmicireular eripheryformed by the cour 6o bined disks. n Upon one -side or end of thecylinder or drum A We fix Athe double mouthpiece hav-` ing a loweraperture N' for the admission 0i? I the 'lump of dough to be` molded,and au up- 65 per aperture N2 for the discharge of the saine after ithas been carried around't-vhe interior of the drum or cylinder. 'Thesemouths h" and N2 are separated by a division-plate N" in thelnouthpieeeN. A

The disks or molding-wheels lf andv G are driven or revolved in oppositedirections preferably b y makin g the worms and worm-Wheels ri gilt undleft handed, and by variation 1n the dimensions of the gearing the diskor wheel G is caused to revolve at a great-er rate than the wheel F. Therotation of the 'disks eanses the lumps of dough to be rolled round andround against the interior of the cylinder, and theyare thus formed intoballs or .sp'hex-gl 8o ical shapes. On reaching the aperture ,hv the'dough balls are discharged from the maclune v ready for placing togetherto iorm the leal,l cake, or other required shape. The disksormolding-wheels muy also be arranged to move 8 5 in the sainedirection, and one disk may be iixed and remain stationary `while theother is caused te revolve.

Instead of employingr two disks or inoldingwheels F and G driven inopposite directions, 9o as hcreinbeifore described, we sometimes employbut one disk or molding-wheel having side flanges, as shown at Fig. G.-liVe sometimes arrange the cylinder, as

'shown at Eig. 7 with a long rectangular space 95 termed between theVcylinder and the single disk or molding-wheel, yand provide'a ring O tofit within the space,'which can be adj usted to 'different lpositionsvby sore-ws., as P, and

yloelfed in position by loe '-nutsl. The space zoo the disks .and theinternal surface of the eylf inde?, substantially ne set ferri-li. y
